Shrimp dumplings (har gow)
Christine S.

We're happy to have a new Chinese restaurant on the coast. The menu is smaller than places like the old China House or Asian Kings Kitchen, but the food we've tried so far has been good. They also offer a small selection of dumplings. Their lunch special (served until 3pm) is a great deal and it includes soup, an entrée, an egg roll, and rice. We've tried the fried rice, orange chicken, General Tso's chicken, Mongolian beef, and most of the dumplings, and everything has been enjoyable. The restaurant is usually pretty quiet inside, and the service is quick and very kind. Overall, we're glad to have this new spot in the area and look forward to trying more of the menu.

I had an amazing experience at firewok! The food was absolutely delicious -- every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The staff were super friendly and attentive, making sure everything was perfect. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, great for both casual dining and special occasions. Highly recommend trying Honey Walnut Shrimp -- it was my favorite! Definitely coming back again soon.

I was excited to try this place for the first time. I ordered online as they offer delivery (or so it says) on the website. As soon as the order payment was complete, they assign it to a DoorDasher.. ? Ok, that's fine, not a problem. The problem was that the order took over an hour and 15 minutes, not because of the DoorDash driver (he waited 45 minutes at the restaurant) I even called the place to ask what was taking so long as the restaurant itself texted me roughly 30 minutes into waiting saying that my order was ready early and would arrive before the time they originally told me.. anyway, pretty much was told we are so busy but I ordered 4 things. Food came shortly after that. I don't want to say that the food isn't good, but half of it was cold, and the chow Mein was burnt everywhere you can even smell it through the plastic bag. I took one bite of sweet and sour pork and threw it away, it just didn't seems right. Potstickers were freezing cold and the broccoli beef was ehh. I will probably never go back to this place again as there is a Chinese restaurant way better right down the street on highway one. It sucks when you try a new place that's you're excited for and they disappoint majorly

Hot & sour soup, shrimp chow mein, honey walnut prawns, salt & pepper chicken wings, and a side of cucumber salad!! So good!

So happy to see new spots in Half moon bay so I had to try Firewok! The staff were all so friendly and greeted me upon walking in. I had ordered a hot and sour soup, shrimp chow mein, salt and pepper wings and honey walnut prawns with a side of cucumber salad. The food was so good and flavorful and the portions were just right! Needless to say I'll be coming back for more soon! This just might be the best Chinese in HMB, so glad they're here now! Give them a try!

If you're craving a dose of addicting Chinese food, look no further than China Hooooooooouse! This…read morelittle nugget is not just a restaurant; it's a culinary warehouse rave! It'll have your taste buds dancing like they just popped a hit o' puuuuuure molly!! First, let's talk about the plentiful vegan options: You'll find an array of dishes that are clearly marked with veg! It's like a secret code you give the doorman on your way into that underground party. But this party concentrates on delivering plant-based come-ups, son! Now, onto the flavahs! The olfactory decadence here can not be overstated. From the crispy spring rolls to the savory Kung Pao meatless, every bite will have you licking your little finger-tutting digits. Order your Kung Pao, with "Extra Pow" and your taste-buds will be burning up like the dance floor during a double-drop Tiësto track! And let's not forget the Mapo Tofu -- this dish is extra spicy and comes loaded with gobs of Chinese peppercorns that will numb your mouth into a state of sub-lingual disassociation. It's like ketamine for your taste buds! The ambience is warmer than the center of cuddle-puddle. And the staff? They're like your culinary POI spinners, ready to dose you with MSG so good you'll leave the restaurant and have to head straight to the Zendo Psychedelic support tent So, if you're itch'n and twrk'n for some top-notch Chinese cuisine, make your way to China Hooooooooouse. With such mouthwatering flavors you may find yourself rolling face. ...and don't forget your sugary fortune cookie at the end. These little biscuits are like an asian kandi-flip. Now go get your om nom nom noms on! #PLUR

I've never seen such overpriced food for that much quantity. Just unbelievable and left me on shocked.. Also if you happen to eat here after ignoring this, dont forget to bring either cash or physical card because they dont do tap.

Pad See Ew: Perfectly chewy noodles and tender beef in a sauce that balances sweet, savory, and smoky notes. Spicy Basil Chicken: A delectable chili sauce packed with umami and fragrant Thai basil. Kao Neaw Neaur Kem: Tender, smoky Thai-style beef jerky served over a bed of perfectly sticky rice. Moo Yang Kao Neaw: Marinated grilled pork that is delectably smoky and garlicky with just the right hint of sweetness. Kao Moo Dang: Fragrant jasmine rice topped with BBQ pork, sausage, and a killer house-made sauce. Wham Rolls: They come with a house-made tamarind peanut dipping sauce that is ridiculously good- it's worth getting the rolls just to be blown away by that creative dipping sauce. On my last visit, the cashier recognized me from the countless times I visited Bangkok House and Spice Me.  She shared that the owner--the woman with the glasses who greets everyone with a genuine smile--had been a cook at one of the restaurants for years and had dreamed of having her own restaurant. With the opening of What a Meals, she finally stepped out on her own. Knowing that this food comes from someone following her lifelong dream makes every bite taste even better! While it's long overdue, I love that the gastronomic diversity of the Bay Area is finally expanding to the coast so locals have cuisine options beyond fried seafood/Italian/Mexican.

It was an adventure to just find a parking space in the parking lot. This is an outdoor shopping…read morecenter with numerous businesses ringing around the center parking lot. Probably on most days, parking wouldn't be as much of a challenge. However, today, and probably over the past few days, repaving, oil sealing and restriping of the parking lot reduced parking by no more than 25% but created havoc on traffic flow by 200%. Once we got parked, we walked to the restaurant. There was no parking in front of the restaurant due to the restriping. We had to sit outside because we had our dog with us. Fortunately, the area near where we were sitting had already been oil sealed, otherwise we would have left due to the smell. The hostess was kind enough to bring water to us and our dog. The menu is kind of a mess. We were handed three. Two were the same and the third contained "new items". They need to consolidate the menus in a way that makes sense, so similar dishes won't be found in different places. On one of the menus, I saw Roti with a Chicken and Onion Yellow Curry offered as an Appetizer. That was the only Roti that I saw. What was delivered to the table was Roti with a small saucer of Sweetened Condense Milk. Not even close to what I had been expecting. I didn't complain because the Roti itself was good. We just didn't use the Sweetened Condensed Milk. When I asked about it at the end of our meal, it turns out that they offer three different Roti dishes. The one that I expected, the one that I got and one with Massamun Curry that I could not remember seeing on the menu. The dish that my wife ordered was out of stock so she made an impromptu change at the suggestion of the server to a Egg Noodle in Yellow Curry Dish which I can't seem to find in the online menus on yelp. Service was good in that they checked on us fairly frequently. We know that it's tough running a small business and menu changes help to drive the business volume and can keep customers returning. But, at the same time, the menu has to be intuitive and user friendly. Roti with Sweetened Condensed Milk - 4 - I asked and was told that they do not make the Roti in house. That's too bad because I'm a huge fan of Roti Telur with Egg. What they served filled the bill when I dipped it in my wife's Curry Sauce. The Sweetened Condensed Milk turns Roti into a dessert when what I was looking for was an appetizer. Pad See Ew - 3 - The noodles were fine and I really appreciated the Chinese Broccoli (Gai Lan) over the more common American Broccoli. The sauce was a bit sweeter than I expected. I was pleasantly surprised to find a total of 7 shrimp in the dish, especially when the dish was $12 + $3 for the shrimp. Egg Noodles in Yellow Curry with Chicken - 3 - The Sauce was very thin, but the flavor was really good and came in handy for dipping the Roti. She said that she wished that there had been more noodles. In general, the pricing seems to be pretty inexpensive. I don't remember seeing that different proteins had different prices and that could cause problems in the future. Many other restaurants will list the price for the basic dish and then show the add-on price for the various proteins. When we got our check, we were given the wrong check and the difference in price was nearly double. I was told that the Point of Sales software will not allow them to put Table Numbers on the checks and that they have to look at each check to ensure each table receives the correct check. It appears that they've been open for just over one year. The people are very nice. The prices are quite reasonable. The flavors could just be a personal thing, but I can only rate based on my experience and preferences just like anyone else. I would consider returning when in the area. Next time, I would pay more exacting attention to the menus to ensure that what I received was what i wanted.

The spring rolls here have been a staple in my regular rotation since they opened and for good…read morereason: they are consistently satisfying. Every bite is packed with fresh vegetables, aromatic herbs, and perfectly seasoned pork. I'm also a fan of their banh mi--I always ask for extra pickled vegetables, and it hits the mark every single time. Recently, I finally branched out and tried the pho; it's a solid option for those blustery coastal days. Also...it's the little things. The owner always remembers I'm a hot sauce fan--she even gives me a knowing smile and holds up the containers as she packs my order, just to let me know she's got me covered. Moving to this side of the hill years ago was a bit of a culture shock. Having been raised in the Bay Area food mecca, I went from having the world at my fingertips to essentially only having two options: Italian or Mexican. Having lived through decades of those limited choices, I feel incredibly lucky every time I walk through these doors. I truly hope people continue to show this business love so they remain a local fixture for a long time to come!
